Bloody weather...

I skived off going to see Bonnie last night a cause du le fait que I was really not up for a walk in the pouring cold windy rain. :) But I went to go and see her for a bit tonight.

The arena wasn't quite so snowy, but was very soggy! But I managed to give Bonnie a lunge, which proved quite interesting. She seemed to have a fair bit of energy, so managed to get herself very worked up and sweaty. Poor beast got some apples from my little sisters after her exertions though so I don't think she was too traumatised. :)

Hopefully it won't be too horrible weather tomorrow and I'll get a chance to ride her.

Who we are

I'm Phoebe, I'm 16 and am currently in lower sixth and doing my A-levels. I'm a pretty fun-loving person, and I love my horsie dearly. :) Bonnie is an 11 year old, 15.1hh brown mare who I've owned since Easter 2006. Looking back, she probably wasn't ideal first horse material for me, when I first got her she was partial to the odd bucking fit (she bucked off her old owner causing her to break her ankle :S), was very unkeen about the idea of jumping and generally found life all a bit too scary. We've both learnt a lot from each other these past two years, and I hope we'll keep progressing together for many more years to come!
